    LASVIT: A STORY IN LIGHT

    April 20, 2020 - By 

    Few things travel faster than the speed of light. Perhaps a message from the heart? Fortunately, Lasvit has an uncanny way of combining two of these most precious energies held so dear by humanity. Their glass, crystalline sculptures are exquisite formations designed with a mission, whether to spread a message of hope or fortune, to play with wishes and make dreams come true. It is up to the visionary artisans of Lasvit, in Bohemia to take a client’s inspiration and turn it into a fantasy manifested. Where there is love there is light and the passion and commitment that can…

    LOVE: ODE A LA ROSE

    February 10, 2020 - By 

    Stolen hearts and stealing kisses, Cupid’s long time partner in crime has always been a red rose or maybe even a hundred. There is just something completely and decadently enchanting about someone taking the time to choose a perfect blossom, thick, red plush petals spiraling out in beauty, and giving it to you. Pure romance. It is estimated that more than 250 million roses are given on Valentine’s Day. That’s a lot of love. But, some would say that not every rose is created equal. Particularly so of Louis and Olivier, founders of Ode A La Rose. These two French…

    EXCLUSIVE: MONICA BYRNE

    September 2, 2019 - By 

    We had the opportunity to chat with the designer behind the Monica Byrne Maison, Monica Byrne herself, to see how her life as a fashion designer evolved and how her experience is represented through her collection. With over fifteen years in the industry, working with top brands such as Vera Wang and Caroline Herrera, she has brought a sense of drama and an elevated approach to fashion as she channels her Midwestern roots with riding gloves, long prairie skirts, and trench coats.

    STYLE DIARIES: VICTORIA

    August 19, 2019 - By 

    She had perfume in her hair. Something that was delicate and rich, like a plush rose petal. But, that was something you remembered after she left. When she was present she was fully present, bright and sparkling. There was an honesty that she seemed to live by, not like some deep code of ethics, more like a natural instinct that she couldn’t hide behind her black, sooty eyelashes. It was that kind of enchanting aura that made everyone she met feel a strange yet evident loss when she left the room. Which she did often. TAG & HASHTAG #LESCARATS WHEN…

    MISSONI’S FALL/WINTER 2019

    August 14, 2019 - By 

    Missoni, the Italian brand, are not just fashion designers. No, they are really more like dream weavers. As they spin, and dye and weave their own special patterns in their factory in Italy it is at once clear to see that each fiber is telling a story in their very unique kaleidoscope of color way. It’s bold and unconventional, with more than a nod to the 70’s hippie ethos. This season they have once again paired up with Mert & Marcus under the creative direction of Angela Missoni, to shoot the Winter 2019 campaign in Cappadocia, against the surreal volcanic…
